FOREWORD 

HE  SUMMER  ASSEMBLIES 

furnish  an  unequalled  opportunity 
for  the  rare  combination  of  recre¬ 
ation  in  the  great  out-of-doors  and 
of  worth  while  training.  During 
these  delightful  days  in  the  open,  Christian 
young  people  have  the  gratifying  conscious¬ 
ness  that  they  are  making  the  summer  vacation 
count  toward  their  more  efficient  service. 
Those  who  are  dreaming  of  rendering  more 
than  ordinary  Christian  service,  of  being  more 
than  average  workmen,  of  entering  upon  a 
Christian  ministry  of  more  than  mediocre 
leadership,  ought  to  plan  to  attend  one  of  these 
splendid  schools  of  religious  training. 

A  trained  Christian  leadership  is  the  out¬ 
standing  need  of  the  times  in  which  we  live. 
Tomorrow’s  world  looks  to  the  Parents, 
Pastors,  Teachers,  to  so  guide,  encourage  and 
inspire  our  youth  that  they  will  now  seek  the 
needed  preparation  for  tomorrow’s  leadership. 

To  bring  about  these  results,  the  principle 
of  selective  conscription  is  recommended.  We 
urge  that  churches  shall  not  only  send  dele¬ 
gates  to  the  Summer  Assemblies,  but  that  these 
delegates  be  encouraged  to  select  definite 
courses  of  study  to  the  end  that  they  may 
return  to  put  to  the  best  possible  use  the 
methods  gained  at  the  Assemblies.  Delegates 
should  be  selected  with  a  view  to  their  fitness 
for  the  task  and  opportunity  made  for  them 
to  render  this  service  upon  their  return. 

Members  of  Church  delegations  are  urged 
not  to  take  identical  courses,  but  to  distribute 
themselves  among  the  various  departments  so 
as  to  bring  back  to  the  local  Church  the  great¬ 
est  contribution  possible. 


SUGGESTED  STANDARD  CURRICULA 


A  COMMITTEE  is  now  at  work  upon  the  preparation  of  correlated  curricula  for  Summer 
Assemblies.  In  the  meantime,  the  following  suggestions  for  courses  may  be  of  value  to  such 
Assemblies  as  may  not  have  made  arrangements.  The  general  divisions  of  a  Summer  Assembly 
program  should  include 

a.  Bible.  h.  Mission  Study.  c.  Sunday  School  Work.  d.  Young  People’s  Work. 

Other  courses  may  be  added  at  the  option  of  the  Assembly  Committee.  For  all  Assemblies  desiring 
to  arrange  their  program  on  the  basis  of  a  three-year  progressive  coordinated  schedule,  the  following 
arrangement  is  suggested :
